46 Self portraits on the occasion of my 46th birthday

Two years ago, when I turned 44 years old, my friend Brett Howell gave me a great idea. Spend the day making self portraits as a way to celebrate my birthday. So, that year, when I turned 44, I took 44 self portraits. Last year I turned 45 and did 45 self portraits. This year, well, you know the drill. So here they are: 46 self portraits on the occasion of my 46th birthday.

Good morning

Like tiger cubs, those kids

There’s not a sweater or socks in any of those boxes. I didn’t know that then, but I do now.

I’ll probably step on about half of those in the next week or so

Our neighbor and friend, Liz, was walking by. I asked her to be in the picture.

You’re so cool. I love this. Remind me sometime to tell you about my photo study- asking the question: “What is a typical day in your life?” and giving participants a digital camera to document it. Happy belated cool guy

I love these photos, and I agree with Loni, I could never have come up with this many interesting and creative self portraits. They tell a great story. With we could have been there to celebrate with you.

Happy belated Birthday!!! This is such a great idea… I might do that next November for my birthday… I still have some time to think about it! I loved all your photos!
And you got the Humans of New York book! Great gift!
